#magit is the best #emacs package for sure. But I have one problem with it. When I update my #go dependencies it is often change around 1500-2000 files due to vendor directory update. magit-status barely response with huge list of diffs. Is it possible to only list changed files and generate diff when press Return on changed file?

Trying out structural diffs. The diffs using language's syntax instead of just text lines.

I switched to Magit last month, and just did a magit-commit-instant-fixup for the first time. Magit has completely solved the 'git problem'!

@mattsheffield excludes #magit and #OrgMode from the question but one cannot miss the chance to thank @tarsius, @yantar92, @bzg, and others I am forgetting.

Many other packages in my config but life without ANY OF THE ABOVE would truly be GRIM.

Takeaways from a second serious session of #Lisp programming in #ed(1):

β€’ I still need Emacs for indentation and because I only set up #Git auth in #Magit.

β€’ Overall, the code is working nicely with line-readtable syntax

β€’ But I’m afraid of the possibility of extending this code, because my nice line-local nesting operators will break when split across lines.

β€’ My programming style immediately shifted to writing small functions that compose (somewhat (like (that on args))) like in Lamber and #Wisp

This post is written in aed(1)

I spent quite some time looking in git for a change that I was sure I had committed but now it was just gone.

I eventually found it on a new branch suspiciously named 'server-start'.

@ryuslash Completely agree, for me it was not useful at all. Very often I open #magit to remember on what exactly I'm working right now and jump to recent changes. I don't care about index files, they have 0 value for me.

Woohoo! Had a quick look and fixed an annoyance I was having:

(setq magit-diff-visit-prefer-worktree t)

At some point recently Magit decided to show me the file in the index, rather than the worktree, when I press RET on a file header in the status buffer. I barely like it when I accidentally open an earlier revision of a file because I pressed RET on a deleted, not an added, line and now having it open the file in the index rather than the worktree just completely confused me.

Great that they added a setting to bring back the previous behavior :)

Is it useful to anyone to open the file in the index rather than the worktree? What am I missing?

#Emacs #OrgMode on the digital side. This is where all my drafts start out unless they are short and simple/already complete, or have special formatting needs requiring a word processor. I manage versions with #git, which Emacs greatly simplifies with the #Magit package, and once I'm ready to share or submit I export the .org file to .odt, and then to .docx, and edit with #LibreOffice Writer from there. Basically Org Mode meets the drafting and structuring needs Scrivener used to on Windows and Mac.

On the analogue side I like to carry around little one-sheet notebooks made from used printer paper. I simply tuck them inside an old passport bag that's my daily carry and write drafts or take notes on the go before I transcribe them into the appropriate Org Mode file. WikiHow has a nice article on how to make these mini notebooks, and you can skip the stapling step if you use them as discardable temporary notes like I do. wikihow.com/Make-a-Paper-Book
